Tonight and Wednesday the Cards are facing lefties which should make those games interesting. The only advantage is 2 of the Cards 3 bets are starting those nights and the Nats aren't generating runs. It'd be nice to know how the Cardinals - besides Pujols and Ludwick - are hitting left-handers this year, because it's been a concern in the past. Anyone got that info or where to get it, feel free to post it. Don't have the time to go through the roster and figure it out.

Thursday night should be an adventure with the Parisi Project getting another turn.

Zimmerman was placed on the DL, so that helps the Cardinals. I'm hoping we can put a beatdown on them, but it hinges on how they rebound from the game last night. And hopefully the Cubs cool off. That would be a big help.

Nice start. I always thought Dan Quisenberry had the weirdest delivery. Worrell topped it. We'll see how long it takes before someone figures out how to hit him. And another solid outing by Lohse. Great spring training move bringing him in.

Some concern for the night game, though since TLR used all but 2 relievers in the day game. Parisi starts while McClellan and Worrell were the only two relievers who didn't see action. Think it's kind of odd he didn't let Villone go longer. 2 outs, gave up a single and he pulled him even though the lead was still 4-0.

Taking a page from the Chinese proverb: The Cardinals will live in interesting times this evening.
